Firstly, thank you to everyone that was in attendance for our headline show! It was truly a wonderful sight to see the Warrington masses (around 300 of you) being zapped by the 66 super-strobe. It was a truly great atmosphere created by one-and-all.

A massive thanks to the organisers; sound engineers, lighting, roadies, and everyone involved. We’ve had the privilege of playing some pretty big stages in our short life-span; it was excellent to see our hometown aiming high and providing a great location and stage for the bands to show their stuff.
The excellent Mudkiss fanzine was in attendance, reviewing the full Saturday event which includes video footage and a review of each band on the day. We’ve included our video and review below; but would encourage you to check out the whole event for the big picture. Spread the fucking love!

REVIEW
Headlining are The 66 who appear on stage through a huge cloud of blue lit smoke, with a distinct retro style and an attitude akin to that of Tom Meighan/Ian Brown, they kick off with the psych infused ‘Bordello’. “Let me hear your beautiful tones Warrington” requests front man Daniel Rimmer and we collectively chant back ‘The Hidden Glove’. By the time they strike into ‘City of Culture’ even the litter pickers have stopped to take note. Arrogantly confident the band end the set in a euphoric yellow smoke cloud of hand clapping and thundering drums with the utterly tremendous ‘Firefly’ Their performance is enthralling, and definitely worthy of a much bigger stage, we’ll be watching them with much interest.
